What are his thoughts on when the Fed pulls out of financial obligations in a couple of yrs and leaves the state holding the purse strings on the expanded Medicaid?



Never asked. Any they only pull out 10% until 2022.

So, personal profit is part of the reason he begrudgingly is for it?



Of course, but I didn't get the sense it was the primary reason. It may be, but I never asked.

From 2008 to 2012, Alabama had an increase of 200,000 people in Medicaid enrollment. In that time frame, it consumed from 25% of the general budget, at it's lowest, until in 2012, it consumed 35% of the general budget. Total expenditures on Medicaid in the state of Alabama was $5.63 billion of which, $1.835 was paid by the State of Alabama. How does increasing the number of people on Medicaid and increasing costs on the State even seem feasible or logical?
